At the last meeting of the Glasgow Central Anti-Corn-law Association, in September, an address of thanks to Lord Brougham was carried by acclamation, for his ma.terly expo sition of the true source of our commercial retrogression, in his speech in the House of Lords, on the petition from certain Glasgow merchants, presented by Lord Lyndhurst. The following was, in consequence of this ♦ote, transmitted to his Lordship, by the Chairman of tie Association t LORD s .---It was w;th feelings of no ordinary pleasure that the members of the Glasgow Central Anti-Corn-law As sociation perused the remarks on the commercial policy of this country—remarks at once full of wisdom, and expressed with that condensed energy which goes direct to the mtrk—with which your Lordship wound up your speech on the petition of the Glasgow merchants, presented in the House of Peers by Lord Lyndhurst, at the close of lest session. It was resolved, in the first meeting of the Central Com mittee held after the report of your Lordship's speech had reached Glasgow, to address to your Lordship an expression of their thanks for such good and opportune service done to the cause of rational government. This expression of their gratitude would hare been forwarded to your Lordship long ere this, but for the prospect that an opportunity would present itself this autumn of uttering our thanks to your Lordship in person—a prospect which has now been removed. The members of the Association flatter themselves that their views of what is necessary for advancing public affairs to a sound and healthy condition, iarmoeise in the main with those entertained by your Lordship. Although associated with a view to obtain the repeal of the Corn-laws, they do not imagine that the abolition of these laws is all that is required for the establishment of national prosperity. They see deep and en grained abuses in our diplomatic, colonial, judicial, and finan cial systems ; and they trace much of these abuses to de fects in our legislative and representative systems. So far from wishing to divert public attention from these other urgently required ameliorations in our institutions, they will be found individually prompt to lend their aid to any movement for that end, which affords a reasonable prospect of success. The restriction of their combined efforts to the question of the Corn-laws originated in the belief that this restriction would admit of the co-operation of many who might differ on other points—that it would bring to bear upon the organised de fenders of the Corn-laws a mote numerous and concentrated organisation. Entertaining these views, they learn with pleasure that your Lordship is resolved to take a prominent part in the dis cussions on the important question whether we are to have a free-trade in corn, which are impending. They solicit your powerful aid towards the clearine the question of all irrele vant matter with which endeavours will be made to perplex it. What we want is a free trade in corn ; the question whether we are to have it or not must be discussed alone, and on its own merits. It is not a financial question. Should any, who oppose the repeal of the Corn-lass on the mistaken notion that it is, and demand an inquiry into our financial system. with a view to revise our present mode of taxation, which presses so disproportionately on the poor, to the uedue exemption of the rich, most gladly will we support them. But this ques tion has no necessary connection with that concerning free trade in corn, and to mix up the consideration of the one with that of the other, will only give rise to fallacies and misun der3tandings. Trusting, ere long, to see added to your Lordship's well won title, of the most energetic and indefatigable champion of the education of the people—one scarcely secondary in im portance—that of the mast energetic and indefatigable eleess pion of cheap and sufficient food for the people—l have the honour to subscribe myself, (By order of the Glasgow Central Anti-Corn-law Associa tion) Your Lordship's most obedient servant, WILLIAM WEIR, Chairman. To this address, Lord Brougham has returned the following response : Brougham Hall, Oct. 2, 183iil. Sts,— I have had the honour of receiving the lett r aritten by you, as chairman of the Glasgow Central Anti-Corn-law Association, and I beg you to return that respectable, and most useful body, my meat respectful acknowledgement of their great kindness in thus addressing me. It would be difficult to overrate the importance of the sub ject to which their labours are directed ; and it gives me much satisfaction to fin 1, that my conduct, in regard to it, has met with the approbation of my worthy fellow-labourers in the cause of the people at large, whose interests are more deeply involved in this question, than in any one particular measure of improvement, with the single exception, perhaps, of Na tional Education. I rejoice to see that, while the Association confine their efforts to this one great subject, they admit the necessity of many other particular Reforms- My own opinion certainly is, that the first place is due to this and the other question which I have mentioned. But I also hold that the people of this country can have no security for the progress which they have made in improvement, and still less pro-pect of obtaining the many things which are yet withheld from them, unless their representation in Parliament is placed upon such a footing as shall admit to a right of voting all who are sufficiently gent to exercise this important franchise. I cannot conclude without guarding myself from the charge so often made against the adversaries of the Corn-laws—that we are hostile to the landed interest. lam firmly convinced that a change, which should improve incalculably the condi tion of the people at large, and extend greatly every branch of our manufactures and of our commerce, would give to the landowners their full share of its benefits ; and that they would derive from it a certainty to which they have long been strangers, and a termination of those doubts which at present keep capitalists from laying out their money upon land, I held to be none of the least clear results of what. ver attention I have been able to give the subject. But, if we are not the enemies of the landed interest, so neither are we bound to re gard them alone. We aro to legislate for the community, not for any particular class. It wts for the community that we framed the Reform Bill. Most of the landowners were alarmed at it, as hostile to them ; and yet they have been so well considered in it that I saw, last Session, a statement ascribing the whole Reform to a desire of promoting their in terest—a statement which I own was quite new to me, although I was one of the authors, and a chief supporter of the mean tire. That Bill was designed to amend the representation of the whole community in Parliament; but if there ens any portion of the people more than another in our contemplation when we propounded it, I always have understood it to be rather the unrepresented inhabitants of the great towns than the compa ratively small body of country gentlemen. So in befriending a change of the present Corn-laws, though I have no feeling of hostility towards the landowners, and believe that they will gain rather than lose by the im provement, Ido not affect to have their interest niaitilv in view, and I hope and trust that, in carrying through tly• mea sure, no such alteration or curtailment of it may be practised as shall give any one a right afterwards to call it a Land lord's Bill. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedi , nt and humble Servant, BROUGHAM. To W. Weir, Esq., Advocate, Gl , sgow. The Association met, on the evening of the iith instant, to receive this answer ; and !raving directed the Chairman to se* that it bo published, adjourned, there being no other business before them. The Glasgow Argus has the following observations on the above declaration af opinion by Lord Brougham on the sub ject of the Corn-laws, and the necessity of urging their re peal In the sentiments expressed in Lord Brougham's reply to the address of the Glasgow Central Anti-corn Law Association, we need not say to the readers of the Argus we entirely concur. We, too, regard Free Trade in Food, and National Education, as the most important questions of admi nistrative improvement that can he agita ed. We regard them as more intimately associated than most people seem to he aware of. Bettering the economical condition of the people is an indispensable preliminary to general education. You never can educate a hungry people, living scantily, and from hand to mouth. The belly must be filled be fore a man can set himself about acquiring knowledge. The sufferer, front the pangs of starvation, is not capable of moral training. The first step in the education of the people is to feed and clothe them. On the question, too, of the absolute necessity of a reform of the Reform Bill, as a preliminary to general and persevering good Government, our opinion has been reiteratedly expressed. Lord Broughatn's opinion on this point, as we find it in his letter, is what lawyers call an obiter dictum—an incidental allusion to a point not in separably connected with his immediate subject. This satis factorily accounts for the vagueness of expression. The phrase —"admit to a right of voting, all who are sufficiently intelli gent to exercise this important function"—seems to point at what has been termed " the knowledge qualification." Our objection to this qualification is, that we can conceive no adequate test— no test adeqaate to the establishment of the fact sought for. The ground we take in regard to the limitation of the franchise is this :— We see no reason fo limiting l't at all, except that the attainment of th e unlimited franchise is impossible. The benefit to be derived from an extended suf frage is not greater legislative knowledge, but grater ear nestness and sincerity in the conduct of public men—the sun etitution of useful action for fine talk. We are willing, on this account, to co-operate with those wh 3 advocate a limited fran chise, but we devolve upon them the task of repos i ng and ad vocating their peculiar limitation. Household suffrage, know ledge, qualification, annual income, annual rental—that limi tatiou shall have our support which, to the po , sibilitv of carry ing' it adds the recommendation of excluding the smallest number of citizens, and affording l east room for vexatious Ihicane and expense in the process of registration. We go for th - e extension of the suffrage—for the largest extension we a., I oet." CORONER'S INQUEST. ---,SUDDEN DEMISE ov MR. PITT, THE WELL-KNOWS WESTMINSTER ORATOR. -0, Monday evening an inquiry took place at Windsor before the Coroner for the county, relative to the death of Mr. Pitt, the surveyor of the Acl , 3lphi, a very active parishioner of Sr. Martin's-in-the-Fields, and well known in the City o Wes minster as a political orator. I t app,'arcd that theased en the day above-mentioned was at Windior on business. He dined it the town. After dinner, as h- was hastening t ,- ) the terminus of the Great Weicern Railway at Slough to take a place in one of the trains for the metropolii, he suddenly fell down in the road, and instantly expired in a fit of apo plexy. The Jury, after hearing the professional evidence of the medical practitioner and the testimony of other witnesses, returned a verdict o f—Di e d by the visitation of the Almighty. The deceased gentleman was about sixty years of age, and well known to the scientific world for his nuan.r..w; inventions. Tyrrel, in h is valuable " fli.tor. - of Britain," says " The first discourse or sermon that ever was notde at any King's coronation, was A. D. 1402, by Eachidge, the Arch bishop, when Edward the Confessor was crowned." LONDON: SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 13, Is3s. Yesterday was a proud day for Southampton. Under circumstances the most auspicious was laid the foundation-stone of the magnificent Docks, of which the plans have been for two years before the public, and which are destined, when completed, to place Southampton in a distinguished position among the commercial ports of England. Of th• proceedings which preceded and followed that important ceremony, a full report will be found in another part of The Sun. In the history of nations there are few circumstances more impressive than those which may be said to mark the rise of great commercial emporiums ; and therefore we are not surprised to learn that the good folks of Southampton exhibited on an occasion of such moment an extraordinary degree of joyful ex citement. Already may they begin to regard them selrt s as " citizens of no mean city," as from the re cent improvements in steam navigation ; the pecu liarly favourable situation of their port ; the capacious ness and safety of their harbour ; and their facility of railway communication with London, they can safely calculate upon their town becoming one among the first in commercial importance in the kingdom. When the London and Southampton Railway and Docks are finished, most of the merchant vessels that now lose nearly a week in endeavouring to make the port of London, will then put into a port which they may enter without delay or danger—where they will he effectually sheltered by the Isle of Wight from every wind, and from whence their cargoes can he easily conveyed to the metropolis. The rise of Southamp ton into commercial importance necessarily involves no diminution of the trade of London ; but, on the con trary, may be made to prove of the utmost benefit to it. The navigation of the Thames is not only ex tremely difficult from the great number of vessels in the river, but much time is lost to vessels entering and clearing out, from the crowded state of the Pool adja cent to the principal docks. As the commerce of the country increases, consequent upon the opening of the great lines of railway, a greater outlet for the foreign traffic of London, than can be afforded by the Thamee, will become absolutely necessary ; and for such outlet we know no port so admirably situated as Southamp ton—the natural advantages of which are very cor rectly summed up in the introduction to the Report of the proceedings of yesterday, to which we have already referred. We are glad to see by a letter addressed to a Morn ing Contemporary, that Mr. PATERNOSTER, -,hose case we lately took occasion to comment on in Th , Sun, and who, it may be remembered, was incarce rated on the plea that he was not of sound mind. intends to bring all the circumstances of his extraordi nary case before a Court of Law. We repeat, we are glad of this, for the investigation will he of infinite use to the public, who have but a faint conception of the despotic authority with which mad-home keepers and mad-doctors are armed, in cases of suspected lunacy. The Rerrt of the proceedings at the Meeting which was held in the City yesterday for the pur pose of organizing a more regular and expeditious communication with India, by means of steam, than exists at present, will be found elsewhere in our columns, and will, we are sure, be read with lively interest. It may perhaps be in the recollection of our readers that a Company was last year on the eve of being formed for carrying this most important object into effect. Such was the spirit evinced by a few intelligent gentlemen who took the lead in the matter, and such the feeling among the mercantile class, that on a notice of merely a few days a capital of 80,0001. was ready to be paid down, in dependently of the support which the wealthy inhabi tants of Bombay, Madras, and Calcutta had pledged themselves to give to the undertaking. The judi cious and active measures taken by the Committee of that Association, had the effect of compelling the Government and the East India Company to step in and take upon themselves the carrying out of a plan so national and so obviously beneficial in every aspect in which it can be viewed. But what has been the re sult ? Instead of setting about the execution of this nolale plan with the zeal and energy which its importance demanded, delays, which have never been satisfactorily explained, occurred ; and, after all, steamers of a class totally unfit for the navigation of the Indian seas were employed. The consequences are just what might have been expected ; great irregularity in the arrival of these vessels at their places of destination, imperfect communication between Great Britain and India, and great and just dissatisfaction among those whose interests, commercial or other, require that that commu nication should be rapid and punctual. The meeting of yesterday, it will be seen, is only preliminary, a Committee having, on the suggestion —a highly proper one, we think—of Lord W. BEN TINCK, been formed to investigate certain points which it is most material to know, before further pro ceedings are adopted. By the packet ship Sheffield, which arrived at Li verpool last night, we have received New York papers to the 14th ult. inclusive, from which extracts will be found in another part of The Sun. They bring no political news of any moment. The rate of exchange on England advanced on the 13th to 110. There was not much buuiness done in the stock market. The following extract from the city article of the Journal of Commerce shows the state of things in Wall-street at the sailing of the packet : MONEY-MARKET, &c., SEPT. 14.—The Stock -market continues heavy, with a downward tendency in fdlicy de seTiptions. Sale• were made yesterday of United States Baniz. at 1234 ; Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, at 80 to 79k, showing a falling off about per cent. ; A very extraordinary occurrence, unexampled indeed in the annals of jurisprudence, has given rise to much com ment. It is as follows :—Messrs. Parquin and Ducroc, advocates, were chosen arbiters in a certain trial. Against these arbiters or their decision Messrs. Salmon and others published a pamphlet accusing them of unfairness. Messrs. Parquin and Ducroc brought an action ag,-aintt the authors of the pamphlet for defamat:on. This trial came before the Assize Ccurt of Paris, and on Tuesday the jury returned a verdict of acquittal. After the acquittal the Colitis , ' for the prosecution rose, and considering the verdict of the jury to extend merely to setring aside the crinzinal prose cution, detn•mded for his ci.euts, as parlie clone, first, the suppre,sion rind int,rtliction of the pamphlet ; and, se condly, 3,000 francs' damages. Atter a long deliberation, the Court, that is, the three Judges, gave the following judgment : " Seeing that, in principle, Courts of Assizes have the faculty, notwithstanding a verdict of acquittal, to give damages asked on account of the fact by the civil pro secutor ; " Seeing that this faculty, awarded by the law, is not limited to common niistl, meariours, t,u to those of the press ; " Consider . ng that the Rimphlet written and printed by Richomme and his associates contains imputations tcrainst the honour of Messrs. Parquin and Ducroc, as injurious as unmerited ; " And that its publication has caused an injury to Messrs. Parquin and Ducroc, for which civil reparation is due, " The Court condemns Richomme and associates to pay solidaiement et par corps 3,000 frartcs' damages. It orders the suppression of the pamphlet, fixed the con , strainte par corps at two years, and condemns them to pay the costs." All the press is in arms and in a panic, especially at a moment when there are several action. pending against ureals for libel, th it of M. Gi-quet a.;•airast the ,Message; , fi r example, and of the Messrs. Perrier against the Nil- " See to what such a system would lead (exclaims the Gazette de T, ibuitatt,r), to nothing less than destroying the competence of the jury in affairs of libels upon public func tionati It woul I place perioleal prints under the double x. ticn of repression nn I ruin. For a journal, it is not m• rely CO.,fi , ieMont that is threatened, but besides the geraut to be impr'soied, there are 4,0001. caution-money. w hout which the journal catolot be puhlished. A jour nal, acquitted by the jury in the person of the giirant, may under the name of damages, he sentenced by the judges to a fine of 4.0001. In vain will it have been proved before the jury that the journiiliFt performed a public deity in re vealing acts of ecob , zzli meat, of arbitrary orders of vio lence The jury may acquit iu consequence. But after the judgment of the jury comes that of the court ; after the considerati , .n of the crime conies that of the injury. After acquittal comes an unlimited pecuniary condemna tion ; for though fines are limited by law, damages are not. The jury may set the girant liberty, and pronounce him -nnocent, whist the judge, with the next breath, confiscates the journal." - A letter from Amsterdam of the Bth inst., received in Paris, stated that the preliminary arrangements for the marriage a the eldest son of the Prince of Orange with the Princess Sophia, second datulitur of the King of ‘Virtern . berg, were cornp!etely terinivated, and that the King of Ho land would officially announce it in his speech at the opening of the Session of the Si ates General on the 15th inst. Baron Van der Duyn, of Niaar•den, Governor of Southern Holland, was shortly to leave for Stuttgard to make a formal remand of the hand of the Princess. FROM PRUSSIA, Ocr. 4.—lu the eigher circles at Berlin great interebt has been lately caused be a very imp rtant Note, which M. Von I,iebermann, Prtbsian Ainhassador Extraordi nary, and Minister Pknipotentiary at the Russian Court, has preserit,. , d, of course by his Nlaj , sty's command, advocating the interests of our Eastern Provinces, whicli are d'rectly or indirectly connected with the Russian frontiers; unhappily. it is added, that this note has not tit any means had the good effect that might have been hoped, from the intimate union that exists in all other matters between the Sovereigns of the of the two States. The Note was, however, admirably drawn up, logical, yet energetical, clearly stating the reasons by which °L I7 Government is induced to make the mo.t urgent remonstrariees Kith respect to the system acted upon en the frontiers, which , in spiie of all care on our part. becomes from mouth to month Inure tii.pressive and ruinous to the inhabitants of these Pro vinces. At a I events, every tru: ussian recogni:es in this step a new proof ._f the paterrpil vigilance of our Kier, who, listening to the reiterated complaints addressed to the throne, on the unhappy state of things, which is ruinous to all trades, leaves no weans untri, d to make representations, when relief is beyond the frontiers of th , kingdoai. OCT. 6.—The Emperor of Russia, on the day before he set out to return to St Petershurgn, conferred many enders, and gave many snuff-boxes and rings, and left large pr-cents fur the a•tendants.

The Paris Journals of Thursday have all been re ceived, together with advices from Madrid of the 4th instant. Their contents are of very little moment, with the exception of the following extract from a let ter from Saragossa, dated the 4th inst.:-- " Official reports addressed by the Military Governor of Caspe to General San Miguel announce that Cabrera had unexpectedly attacked, between Ca=pe and Morella, the five battalions and two squadrons commanded by Get ) . Pardinas, and put them comp!et,ly to the rout. Very few men of the division escaped. a,.neral Pardinas and sos eral of his officers remained on the field. The population of Saragossa became alarmed on receiving this inteldgence— cries of Dawn with the Ministry' were uttered in ti streets, and the Governor was obliged to ordcr the artil lery of the place to be pointer again,t the rioter:, to pre vent a new insu7rectimary movement in the city." The Madrid Journa!s announce the retirement of General ALDAMA froat the War-office, as soon as a successor can be appointed agreeable to ESPAR TERO. No report of the &feat of PARDINAS had reached the Spanish Capital.

On Thursday, the 11th, ar rived the Baros,.a, transport, from the Westward; and on Fri day, sailed the Pique, 36, for Mexico. On Tivsdav the following Gentlemen passed their exa- minations at the Royal Naval College to serve as Lieute nants in her Majesty's service :—Messrs. Gerard, John Napier, and William IL Surridge. It is with great pleasure that I have to announce the pro motion to the rank of Lieutenant of Mr. Henry Dumaresq, late mate of the Britannia. He was one of the unf. rtnnates who attended the m-eting of Mates at the George Hotel in the affair of Colonel Lewis. Lord Minto, by this act, has given le:other proof that the meeting alluded to has (so far es its tendency went) been forgotten, and this promotion has given universal suttsfaction at this port. He has served a period of nearly seventeen years. and passed his examination for the rank which hr has at length attained in June 1828; ■ more deserving, or better officer, - the Admiralty could not have sel,cted. Only one other (as far as I know) now re mains for Lord Minto to confer the same promotion on, viz., Mr. Henry T. 1 3 4 e, and should his Lordship be pleased to raise hint to the same rank, he might confidently rely on that effi,:er's attachment to the service, and give satisfaction to every one who has had the pleasure of his acquaintance. Indeed for myself, I promise my Lord Minto, that if his promotion takes pl...ce soon, I will write arid send him an Epithalamium on the occasion of his daughter's late marriage.

The arrivals from New York by the Sheffield are important for the merchants, both in respect to remittances and to re gulatr, their future transactions with the United States ; but up to the present hour th commercial letters and papers have Hot been received at the Cotl.e.house, but are expected every hour.

Consols for the Account, 94i A treaty of commerce between Austtia and Eno land was concluded on the 17th of September last at Milan. The terms were arranged between Prince Metternich and Sir Frederick Lamb, and the final ratification on the part of this country took place ;ast night. Though the treaty is merely commercial, yet some of its articles, and more particularly the 3d article, will have important political results. We may observe that it most mate rially counteracts the doings of the Russians at Ga lacz and Su Mor fling Chronicle. Early on Thursday morning an oat stack was dis covered to be on 1-e, on Mr. Bourne's farm in the pa rish of Br. de, near Rye, and though the alarm was soon given the stack ',vas completely destroyed. The property is insured. No doubt exists but that this conflagration was the work of some evil-minded incendiary. —BrighionGuardian3 The consumption of meat in Paris during the last month was 5,272 oxen , 1,305 COWS, 5.877 calves, 32 327 sheep, and 443.053 kilogrammes of tallow. In Sept. 1837, it was 5.566 oxen, 1.66 9 cows, 6,954 calves , 34,812 sheep , and 498.976 kilogrammes of tallow ; showing a considerable corn. parative diminution. POLICE MAGISTRATES. —The salaries of the Police Magistrates were doubled some years since. They are now 8001. per annum. After they have served for a cer tain time. they may retire, if they wish it, on a pension of 5001. per annum. Mr. Halls, of Bow-street Office. retired on that pension about twelve months ago. The Police Magi strates are prohibitA from pursuing their professional pursuits as Barristers, or engaging in any trade or business; it is ex pected that they s hall apply them s elves, exclusively, to the duties of their office. They have to sit every day during the w eek, Sunday excepted. They commence their sitti ng s a t eleven o'cloc k, and continue, in most c a ses , till five, and again sit an hour or two after seven o'clock. One out of the three Magistrates always presides at each office. Hence the expression, the " Sitting Magistrate." One of the other two is always present, but takes no part, exc.-pt in extreme „ sea , in the proceedings. Two Magistrates must be in the o ffi c e when hearing cases. They always sit by rotation, so that ea ch Magistrate is the Sitting, or Presiding Magistrate two days in every week.— Sketches i n L on d on , by - the Author of the Great Metropolis. THE ACCIDENT IN FARRINGDON-STRIET.—It will be recol lected that, a few days ago, a waterman named Jones, wa. severely injured by a cab running over him in Farringdon street, the horse in which had been driven against by a person named Tw;ght, who was not sober at the time, and who was remanded until the man should be out of danger. This morn ing a cert!ficate from the resident surgeon in the hospital was produced, stating that Jones was much improved, and that, in all probability, he Would be able to leave the hospital in a short time, and an application was made that the prisoner might be liberated on ba. The requisite recogn:vnees having been entered into, tEe prisoner was discharged. Henry Redwood, who has been in custody several days, in consequence of a brick having fallen from the scaffolding on which be was employed upon the head of a person named Cunning, Wai again brought up and discharged, Mr. Cum mins having been pronounced out of danger. A PfI' , I4ISING YOUTH. —Robert Pring, a boy about fourteen years of age, was brought up under the following circum stances : Jarr,es Piing, his father, who is a watchman, and resides in Taylor's-court. Lambeth hill, stated that the prisoner was coosiantly in the habit of taking articles from his house and pawning them. Last Wednesday he pawned his t-iiter's sh:.os, and a few days before a cruet-stand. The sister was unable to prevent him from taking things away, and when she attempted t• do so the prisoner beat her. He was commuted to Bridewell for a month. MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.) Three boys, the eldest apparently no more than 14 years of age, named Hammond, Hill. and Ball ; and a young mar about 20, na,ned William Henry Flower, were placed at tilt ba.r. tvcused of h iving stolen a quantity of linen and diaper from the premises of Mr. William Jerome, a warehouseman, rsoi ling at No. 34, Connaught-terrace. George Burt being sworn, deposed that he is a stone-mason carrying on buines. at No. 24, South Wharf-road. • Within this week or fortnight back, he bad remarked the prisoners con tinually lurking about that neighbourhood,wirh seven or eigh: more boys. Yesterday. between one and two o'clock, he ob served them, g,thered in a cluster, and apparently very intent on dividing something among them, at the rear of his premises. ffivin , z approached closely unobserved, he perceived it to be quantity of linen; they all made their escape when they saw him. save Hammond, whom he brought to the station-house, and gave information, there of the circumstances. Constable 71 T, said after receiving the information from the last witness. he succeeded in capturing the other three prisoners. and on inquiry, found that a box containing linen, in the Foss-scion of Mr. Jerome, had been broken open and its contents taken away. On comparison, he saw that what had been found in the prisoners' possession at the rear of Mr. Burt's premises, corresponded exactly with the remnants fount' in the box. M. Jerome stated that the box hail been left in his posses sion, but he never had any knowledge of its contents, it was left in his stores in c,mmon with other articles, and he ast, saw it sb,:ut two mo, - ,tip ago, when it was safe and perfect. Mr Sitcrr said he should remand the prisoners until Friday, and r.: quested Mr. Jerome to bring forward, if possible, the parsons who had deposited the goods in hi , - keeping. PRICE OF SUGAR. EFFECTS or Ttt BOUNTY. Tao'e showing the tx-4uty price of West India Sur •^- lase, and cOnsiiiiring the same egainit the price of foreign sugars : Landon, Oct. 12, 13311. The Gaxette this day quotes the average price of British Psi cwt. Plantation Muscovado Sugar, exclusive of duty, at 3ls. sd. Muscovado Sugars raised by tree labour in the Manilla— which are frequently bought by the Dutch to be refined, and then to be resod in the River Thames—in competi. tion with British refined Sugars for exportation—have been sold this week at from 20s. to 235. per cwt., being 86. per cwt. less than the average price of West India Sugars. Refined Sugar, equal in quality to double refined (the manu. facture of it casting ss. per cwt.) has been sold this week (free on board) at Deduc'inx shipping charges 2s. %I. 31s. 10d which is sit per cwt dearer only than the )Juscovade Sugar S om which it is made, being a loss to the sugar re finer of 4s. 7d. per cwt., which the bounty on exportation reimburses him. British Treacle is worth Us. per cwt. in the foreign markets. The same has Fern soA this slay in London, free of duty, at 275. per cwt., being au excess of Klee paid by the British consumer of 16s. pet cwt., in other words 18s. per cwt, on Treacle paid by the roar man towards West India Bounty, and not, as it is erroneously supposed, to wards revenue. CcrFzE.— l'he duty on WeSt India Coffee, the price of it ranging from 100 s. to 130 s. per cwt., is 565. per cwt., about 50 per cent. ad valorem. The duty on St. Domingo Conte, the average price of it being 43s per cwt., i 4 I4os. per cwt., or about 300 per cent. ad valorem. The protectt% e duty, therefore, on IVest India COZY is equivalent to 250 per cent. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY. DIAL, OCT. 12.—Wind N. N.

George Robins, it would seem, has been extending his professional labours into Scotland To-night he has an nounced the famed Castle of Tidlichewen and Demesne, neat Dunbarton. But ths is not all. The Lake of Loch- Lomond, very p-t.perly designated by Mr. Robins as the "ne plus ultra" of Scotland's fame, is within a short mile of the Castle and Estate under his consideration, and our readers will be amused by the unpretending stile which extends through out his description. He finds the task beyond his feeble powers, and escapes from it by taking consolation in the reminiscence that Sir Wglter gcott found himself in thc sam e dilemma. The journey from London to this scene of enchantment by means of the Railway and Steam com munication. accomplished in less than 25 hours; and it ha-, been whispered that this splendid Cstle and Demesne will Le sold to net 4 per cent. upon the capital embarked, The opera of Don Juan was performed at this theatre last night, and, as the bills announced, for the last time. Most sincerely do we hope that this announcement is not true. The frequent repetition of the exquisite music of this opera is at once delightful and improving; and though the cast WI not quite the best that could be imagined, it was very good ; if English audiences are to wait fur the very best cast of Mozart operas they will stand but little chance of heating them at all; The great deficiency last night was the want of a tenor, an d the gentleman who represented Don Octavio, most shooed that deficiency when he sang the air answering to the Italian It mio tcsoro." A lively friend suegested, and his fanci ful suggestion was most exc e l it n , , th a t M r . I3l agro v e s hould hav e been drkssed for the character, and brotight tiom the orchestra to the stage to play that one air on th e v i o li n . It Woul d have been a great treat. The Don Juan of Balfet is a fine piece both of acting and rfnging. In singT% espcially, there is perhaps no o ne on th e I ta li an stage w" c could give the " La ci Darem" and th e S erena d e better, a nd certainly none on the English stage who can do them half 0 well. The accompaniment to the serenade, played by Blagrov,e, was admirable ; and the merit of bath performers was d"l d acknowledged by the a u di ence .
